Do you love Paris? Does the idea of exploring this magical city through your own unique lens light you up? Perhaps you just want to become a better photographer? Whether you are looking to learn how to get off your camera's automatic settings, compose better shots or develop your ability to see through mindfulness practices this workshop is for you! Come join us for a 5 day photography exploration where we will teach you the art of seeing. You will deepen the way you see and experience the world around you as well as your own inner landscape through daily exercises, excursions and practice.

What if I told you that learning to see differently can change your life? Trust me, it can. And in this workshop I am going to show you how. Have you ever stopped to consider that the way we look at and experience our world is often done by default? Did you know that our vision can be strengthened, like a muscle, and when we exercise it, it transforms, changing the way we view our world and ourselves? Each us perceives our experience through our own unique lens, from our personal vantage points but did you know that lens can be swapped out for others in our arsenal that would drastically changed the results? Photography, even with our iPhones, has the power to help us change the way we see, think, and feel but we have to know how to use it to do so.

I AM A PEOPLE PERSON AND I LOVE A GREAT EVENING OF FOOD, FRIENDS AND DEEP CONNECTION. YOU?

A few years ago I heard of an event that my friend Andrea Scher was doing out in California called a "Storybowl". She was craving connection with other like minded women and had a vision of sitting together in a circle playing a game of sharing true stories from their lives. Motivated by a bowl of prompts, they broke down boundaries and well.. shared deeply. I was hooked and haven't stopped thinking about it since. Because I live too far away to attend her event I decided to host my own and I am calling it "In Her Own Words".

Do you ever feel like you are being dragged behind your life instead of steering your own ship? Do weeks fly by and you realize you haven't lived fully? Is there room for more meaning, nourishment and intention in your life?

Without keeping what matters to us top of mind, it can be all too easy to forget to include the exact activities, rituals, routines and experiences that make us feel like we are living a full life that nourishes us. In this workshop we are going to identify the core routines that make us feel most alive, grounded and fulfilled. Then we are going to create a physical reminder of what these core routines are for us to keep with us to refer to and aid us in cultivating these new habits.

Are you living the life of your dreams? Does the vision you have for the life you want align with how you are currently living? Are there parts of your life you would like to improve or just change? Vision boarding is a powerful and fun way to clarify and magnetize your desires by creating a visual roadmap of the life you really want. Living a beautiful life requires the time to create it yet most us don't carve out the space to really identify what we want. This workshop will teach you the tools you need to manifest your hearts desire. Come join me to begin shifting your path in the right direction and learn techniques to intentionally create the life you want to have.

WHAT:

Join me on an intimate Photo Walk in downtown Wickford, RI where we will be exploring and shooting our most familiar surroundings with fresh eyes. Often we pay little attention to what we see all of the time. We rarely stop and notice what is right in front of us, especially in our own backyard, yet so much is happening right around us. Beauty, texture, color, moments exist and come into view when we begin to look at them (and ourselves) through a new lens. Come see what you never knew was there. Your camera and I will be your guides.

WHERE:

We will meet out in front of The Beach Rose Cafe on Brown Street in Wickford. We will be staying within walking distance of the the downtown Wickford area. Please dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes because will be outside the entire time.

Living a beautiful life requires the time to create it yet most us don't carve out the space to really identify what we want. Are there parts of your life you would like to improve? Things you would like to change? A great want to get clear about your desires is to create a visual roadmap of the life you really want and a vision board is a wonderful way to do just that. Come join me to begin shifting your path in the right direction.

Most of us are super busy. We are juggling work, family life, kid's activities, friendships and social obligations. I know for myself that can mean that time for self care and pursuing my personal growth can take a back seat. I can "wake up" months later and realize I haven't given that part of my life it's due attention.

Truth: Vision boards only work if you actually make them and use them. I want to help you create the life of your dreams so for those of you who really intended to keep working on your board at home but haven't quite made the time this is for you. Perhaps you have specific questions or intentions you are trying to work on that may require it's own board-like buying a new home or calling in a new relationship.

I am opening my home for evening of open creative time to work on your boards, ask questions, hang with a lovely tribe of like minded women and focus on what you really want in your life. This is for folks who are currently working on a board, have attended my workshop or are otherwise wise to their own vision boarding practice. All materials will be provided. Please bring your current board.
